Google is unveiling the Pixel 10 series along with the Pixel Watch 4 later this month. And recently, there have been leaks around the Pixel Buds 2a to be released along with them. These buds, being the successors to the Pixel Buds A-series from way back in 2021, certainly took a long time to come to market. Let’s find out more.

Google Pixel Buds 2a Leaks

Design

Based on the leaked renders, the Pixel Buds 2a will be available in two colors — blue and grayish black, which Google calls “Iris” and “Fog Light”.

When looking at the case, it feels similar to the previous model. But we can see that it’s slightly smaller and has gotten rounder as well. Moreover, it seems that Google has also decided to remove the ear hook this time.
